steering noise when cold

michaelholmes · Feb 9, 2013

hi, I have a classic 3.9 1994, on staring when I turn on full or near full lock I get a sort of gurring noise on the steering, once its warmed up after a few minutes, the noise stops (think shes female). Its ok on nomal gentle steering when cold. Can you help on where to start looking or what to replace??
cheers all......

check change fluid.check,hoses for steering pump and bearings probably starting to wear you should try to avoid fulllock it strains the pump

Belt slipping?

When you turn onto full lock the bypass valve in the pump may rattle as it relieves the pressure. As the fluid warms and thins it will go away. Changing the fluid maybe a good move.
